I don't think so, but the police have they're panties up in a bunch over the whole thing, so it might as well be.

You can be picked up and put in jail and have to go before the judge. The judge can order you to go back home and if you refuse he can award the state custody of you and you can be put in foster care. Usually that is rare but it can be done. If you can, hold out for a little while longer and you can leave without running away. Good luck to you.
